Re: [csswg-drafts] CSS2 next edition naming (#4847)

Sorry for butting in, but I've come here in search of more information about Revision 2 after coming across the warning message that was mentioned up-thread:

 > Also, there is already such a message at https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/, and it already mentions 2.2 as the next revision.

When I saw that message, I got confused because I was under the impression that CSS version 3 was what's being worked on at this point in time. I then discovered the W3C's CSS home page [contains a number of tables ](https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work)which help understand the CSS development process a bit better. Neat!

However, Revision 2 is nowhere to be found there... under the name "Revision 2", that is. When Revision 1 is clearly labelled as such. I actually began writing this comment _before_ realising that the [Revision 2 document](https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/) document linked to from the warning message _is_ in fact included. Just under a different name, "Preview of CSS Level 2" (in the "Abandoned" table). Which is _not_ what I was looking for, or would have looked for.

What I originally was going to say still applies, though: to the casual user it remains a mystery if Revision 2 (or CSS2 overall) is still a thing; if that document is a work in progress or its final form. It says it's from 2016, but the warning message concludes with: "The CSS Working Group _is also developing_ [Revision 2]" (emphasis mine), which suggests it is still under development. But the warning message itself looks, well, let's say a bit "old-schoolish", which doesn't help shed any light on the situation either.
